Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Black seed oil, derived from the seeds of Nigella sativa, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. Its application for supporting the bronchial system (respiratory health) is rooted in ancient practices. Traditional texts and folk medicine often cite black seed oil as a remedy for coughs, asthma, and bronchitis. The oil contains thymoquinone, a compound believed to have anti-inflammatory, bronchodilatory, and antioxidant properties. While there is a growing body of preclinical evidence (in vitro and animal studies) suggesting that black seed oil may help relax bronchial smooth muscles and reduce airway inflammation, human clinical trials specifically targeting bronchial health are limited and generally small in scale. Most of the scientific validation is still preliminary. Thus, while traditional use for bronchial support is well-documented, robust clinical evidence is lacking, making the justification primarily traditional rather than scientific. Further large-scale, well-designed studies are needed to determine the efficacy and safety of black seed oil for bronchial support in humans.
